Rosso e Nero

You'll find Rosso e Nero tucked into Darlington Street's stretch of independent spots, where the red and black colour scheme isn't trying too hard—it just works. This is straightforward Italian done well: handmade pasta that doesn't taste like it's been sitting under a heat lamp, sauces that taste like they've simmered for hours, and staff who actually seem pleased you've turned up. It's the kind of place where regulars book months ahead and you'll spot families celebrating proper occasions alongside couples on a Friday night. Nothing fancy or overblown, just consistently good food at prices that won't leave you checking your bank balance afterwards.
